With the number of Mercury/Lincoln dealers that have either closed up, or have been merged with the nearest Ford dealer, the Mercury/Lincoln dealership landscape has changed greatly since 2003-04.

Is the one that first sold your Marauder still open?

Mine was delivered to Burnsville Lincoln/Mercury, which is now closed and sold to someone that made it a Honda dealer. I believe the Mercury/Lincoln franchise went to the nearest Ford store, Apple Valley Ford, which is now the state's biggest volume Ford dealership.
 
Mine was Safford L/M in Silver Spring, MD. They sold the car new there, was traded back in and sold to me. They hosted an annual Flag Day car show that most of CAM attended.

I think they are not open anymore as a Ford dealer was across the street from them.
 
Purchased my first Marauder at Cherner L/M in Tysons Corner, VA. I know the Cherner showroom is no more. It's an Aston Martin dealership know. Jose (F8tlbiteVA) will know more, he works there.. i think

I believe Cherner just merged with Ted Britt Ford and they have dealerships and repair facilities in Chantilly, VA and Fairfax, VA
 
Erich Henkel L/M Chrysler is now Henkel Dodge Jeep Chrysler in a different location. The Lincoln sales were sold to the local Ford dealer.

Cape Cod Lincoln Mercury Mazda closed up shop in the middle of the night, after repeatedly assuring the town of Yarmouth that they were going to remain. They moved 100 miles to the west, then sent letters to all their Cape customers inviting them to continue getting their cars serviced at the new location.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
Purchased my MM new thru Royal Oak ford in Royal Oak MI, dealership is still there, but i believe its changed ownership/names.
 
Bought my DTR new from Heritage LM in Greenville, they're out of business.

The DBP was originally sold at Vantage LM in Charlotte, that dealership was taken over by Keith Hawthorne, now a FL dealership.
 
North Shore L&M in Pt. Jefferson Station - didn't survive the '08/'09 economic downturn.
 
Purchased mine from Starr L/M in Glendale, CA. They merged with their Ford dealership. My other dealer, Vista L/M in Woodland Hills, CA merged next door with their Ford Dealership also. Galpin where I purchased my MKS is still seperate. They are the largest Ford dealer in the world. They are also the largest Lincoln dealership in the Western USA.
 
Bought my 2004 Lincoln LS from Ken Smith/Ridgewood, NJ. Closed.

Bought my 2003 TBird from Elmwood Ford, Elmwood Park, NJ. Closed.

L&M dealer in Westwood, NJ, is now a foreign car dealership.

Liberty L&M in Clifton NJ, RIP. (They also had a floor dedicated to classic cars.)

Sad to see all the old Pontiac and Oldsmobile dealers gone and replaced by foreign bands.

(When the local Pontiac dealer closed, a multi story Mercedes Benz dealership rose in it's place.)

Sad.
 
Nope, not sure if they were going under the Bellevue L-M or Barrier L-M name when it was sold new. It was back to Bellevue L-M when it was traded in and the service writer snagged it, kept it a year of so and sold it to me. The were struggling before the Mercury brand was axed and with the prospect of half their sales gone they folded and the Ford franchise across the street picked up Lincoln.
 
still in business

bought my 04 Marauder new from Highland Park L/M now in business as Highland Park Ford Lincoln located in Highland Park, Illinois...been trying to convince them to have a Marauder reunion for the ones that they sold....also, Terry's L/M in Orland Park, Illinois folded shortly after the demise of Mercury with Lincoln going to Rizza Ford-Kia-Porsche...the Lincoln signage at the dealership is so small you can hardly see it...

Same here....I bought my Marauder from Safford LM wayyy back in Dec '02.
They had 7 or 8 Black Marauders lined up on the lot and I chose what looked like the 'pick of litter'.
I drove by there recently and they are now a Mitsubishi dealer....:cry:
 
Valley LM Irving tX

A quick check on Edmunds would suggest no, the dealer is no longer on Airport Freeway by McArthur.
 
Mine was sold new at Nick Mayer Lincoln/ Mercury in Westlake Ohio about 1.7 miles from my house. Yes they are still open, I bought my wifes Ford Edge there used
